This report presents the main findings of an ECDC project to assess the burden of infectious diseases among migrants in the EU/EEA based on available data for specific diseases: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhoea, syphilis, measles and rubella, malaria and Chagas disease.

ECDC publishes the sexually transmitted infections including HIV and blood-borne viruses chapter of the Annual Epidemiological Report 2014. It includes data from 2012 on the following diseases: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B virus infection, hepatitis C virus infection, HIV/AIDS and syphilis.

This guidance, based on a systematic review of the literature and expert opinion, suggests that there is good evidence to ensure that some key components are considered for inclusion in national and sub-national public health programmes in countries in Europe.

​This ECDC surveillance report on STI in Europe describes the epidemiological features and basic trends of the five STI under EU surveillance, Chlamydia trachomatis infection, gonorrhoea, syphilis, congenital syphilis, and lymphogranuloma venereum.

This report is part of an ECDC project on the effectiveness of antenatal screening for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella susceptibility in the EU/EEA.

This literature review was conducted as part of a project evaluating the effectiveness of antenatal screening for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella susceptibility in EU/EEA Member States.

In order to collect evidence on effective types of antenatal screening intervention that are effective for population groups vulnerable to MTCT, a review of the existing published literature was performed.

This publication aims to support the strengthening of antenatal screening programmes for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella susceptibility in the general population and in groups identified as vulnerable to mother-to-child-transmission in the EU/EEA.
